Human Being and the Environment

Introduction

Human adaptation is one of the key facts for human survival. For a human bein to be

able to survive in an environment! he"she needs to accommodate the chanes that take place in

the environment. #s a result of industriali$ation and lobali$ation! the environment is no more

conducive to human survival %&oudie 11'. # case e(ample! of ho) human beins are not

adapted to their environment is the case of Syrian citi$ens. The country is not conducive to them.

Hence! they have opted to move to other countries in *urope and #frica for survival. #s a result

of the civil )ar as )ell as the fiht aainst +S+S %+slamic state of +ra, and Syria' the country is

not a home to the Syrians )ho depended or this environment for )ellbein %Stokols! Daniel!

-eano! and Hipp 1/'. Therefore! this paper )ill discuss! human anthropoloy on human

environment.

Best Environment Characteristics

0ased on the case e(ample! a ood environment is one that offers the people or human

bein basic human needs. +t should be one that offers the people shelter! food and supports

provision or access to clothin %Stokols! Daniel! -eano! and Hipp 11'. Secondly! an environment

offers basic social elements such as social )ellbein and social amenities is considered as the

best environment.

For e(ample! an environment that supports social values such as the provision of social

education to its people is considered as an adaptive environment. -astly! a ood environment is

one that accommodates both individuals and communal values %2eena! et al. 3'. The current

Syrian environment does not support either hence cannot be considered as an adaptive

environment. 0esides! it is vital to consider that a ood environment not only supports or human

riht provisions but also should support basic human values. Such values include friendship and

value for human life %2eena! et al. /4'.

Therefore! it means that human beins adapt to an environment that supports all the

above condition. The case e(ample did not support the conditions hence considered as a bad

environment for human survival.

Decrease in reproductive fitness of individuals

The current Syrian does not support reproductive ro)th or fitness in many )ays. The

follo)in are the )ays in )hich it deprives reproductive fitness:

First! since the country or the environment does not support a peaceful place for humans

to stay! they have opted to move or mirate to other places to seek an alternative environment. #s

a result! the movement from to ne) environment does to ive them time to undertake their

reproductive responsibilities %2eena! et al. 3'. Secondly! lack of some of the basic needs such

as shelter and food deprives them of reproductive needs and demands. 5ather they people )ork

to)ards meetin this needs rather than )orkin to)ards their reproductive ro)th. -astly! social

facilities such a hospitals amon others are not available to support reproductive ro)th hence

the decline in reproductive fitness of the human population in Syria %Stokols! Daniel! -eano! and

Hipp 64'.

fitness is one of the impacts of such an environment. #s a result of the movement the Syrians in

the current and past environment! the country7s population cannot upkeep )ith labor needs.
